A big shout to the team of "Lightning Shine Car and Dog Wash" ie Matt and James I, as a customer, had a minor issue with the car wash that I had experienced. So just went ahead and raised my concerns with them via SMS and phone call. Within few minutes, I heard from Matt who quickly organised a meeting with James. Prompt, very prompt and accessible bunch of guys. So a big win in a scenario if anyone ever has an issue. Upon arrival, James took time to educate me that what all needs to be done in the right way to achieve the best outcome on an ongoing basis. I mean, as a car owner, we have equal responsibility too, to keep the car in check. The way things were handled in a friendly, timely and professional manner is something that I quite liked. He further offered me a free wash + a microfiber towel (I mean it was just not required) and made sure that I leave as a HAPPY CUSTOMER. I offered to pay but them refused to accept. Now this approach of making sure that I was put at ease and the feeling of being looked after is simply GOLD. I wish them all the best and surely, I'd be a regular customer going forward. Anyone who appreciates a quality wash then do give them a shot. Confident that you'd like sticking with them.

Great Aussie owned business! Easy to use and all wash machinary makes car look sparkling, Very gentle on your car. Makes me mad when people expect the car to get rid of ALL dirt and grime when there car hasn't had a good hand wash in a while - PEOPLE don't expect this, this is a gentle clean so it doesn't ruin your paint job or scratch your car which I think is awesome! Does an awesome job and made my car look brand new again! Vacuums are really handy too! Can I also say how great it is to see the owner on site if you have any queries or just need a hand with anything! Thanks Guys! Great Aussie owned business!!!!!

  • Rob ANDREWS

I have been to this wash quite a few times, on those visits I’ve used all of the services they offer including the dog wash. I had an issue using the car wash last week. After the car went through a thin film of grime was left on the paintwork. I called the customer assistance number and Matt called me back and offered a solution. He was was extremely knowledgeable and helpful explaining the limitations of touch free washes and how to overcome them for a great result. I highly recommend using this wash and if you have an issue know that you will be supported.

  • Dale Cowan

This car wash is the only car wash I'd give a 5/5 for. I can't really fault it, it provides a decent wash and although their prices have just gone up, I think compared to other car washes it is thorough, quick and gets rid of majority of bugs. It doesn't leave soap if you get the top wash and the blower is decent too compared to others I have been too. It is however situated in a busy area and would be great if there was another up the peninsula way.

  • Sumit Pradhan

Opted for the most expensive 20$ wash with an added wax option for 2$. Was not very happy with the wash as it didn't came out like totally clean or shiny. Especially the marks and the back glasses were not cleaned properly. Still would had rated that 3 star, but gave the owners a call, just to check how the wash works in case I missed something, no one picked and never got a call back, so -1⭐️ for that.

  • Nicole Hines

Busy dog washing station at times, Increased in price recently however, walking distance to the house. I know I can do this at home but my dog is a big boy and my house is small, taking him here I don't have to worry about the state of my house after a wash. Recommend to take a towel to dry off your dog after a wash. Usually always clean the bay before leaving for the next person and their pooch.

  • Ashish Kashyap

Phenomenal customer service. Last week, my pendant was sucked into vacuum cleaner machine by mistake and I thought I would never get it back. But, I just a left a message for the team and got a reply back within 24 hours. I am so thankful to the team member for giving me that pendant back to me. It means a lot to me. Thank you so much! I will definitely recommend this place to everyone

  • M Google

Very disappointed with end result, paid $18 for extreme wash but find out it doesnt remove the dirt , road grime! fancy technology but useless in action . Where are the rotating brush from the sides and top? so waste of time and money and I have to find another car wash that uses the rotating / spinning brush! Will never use this kind of car wash again and I advise others not to...

  • Dean Sprunt

Fantastic experience had at this new business. Experienced owner onsite with answers to any questions. No harsh brushes on your nice car. You need to be realistic though with what you expect your car to come out like. Every 3rd or 4th wash on your car needs your elbow grease if your car is exposed to very dirty roads or a dirty storm. Will be a return customer. Most impressed.

  • Dean Leeson

Left dirt residue on my car after the $18 extreme wash. Contacted them with my experience to find out that their wash won't wash all kinds of dirt, including road grime. A car wash that doesn't wash road grime from a car.. that should probably be disclosed on their banner or flashing LED signs. Got told to wash my car by hand, then come to wash my car there... Yep, ok.

  • Vic Blazek

Washed my car here this afternoon after weeks of driving through dirt roads and construction estates. It was filthy. Decided to vacuum the car as well, where at this point the attendant came by and offered to clean up any spots that the autowash might have missed. Certainly didn't expect this type of service, so definately worth 5 stars!!

  • Rami Marginean

This is a great car wash, in my opinion. My car had not been washed in several months and the touch free system removed the hardened dirt from the back of the car impressively. I did experience a technical issue, I think, as the polishing and air drying cycles did not run at all. In any event, it's a quality product and worth the cost.

  • Dush Bulathsinhala

These photos are after the wash. Do you call this a proper wash..? You were never like this. I have had better washes than this in the past. What happened..?? After you posted the reply I called and left a message. It's been 2 or 3 days now. No one called back. Looks like you do not care.. my bad for expecting a call back....

  • Reanna Ruppell

Lovely staff, great job! Went through with the help of a lovely man, then he noticed the spoiler was holding soap and encouraged us to go through again (Free of charge), when the suds were still there he grabbed a towel and gave it a clean! Very friendly and you can tell he loves what he does and has an amazing eye for detail!

  • Dazza x

3 bay car wash, all touch free, with blow dry available. They have timers outside above the bay which shows the remaining time on the current wash, very good for choosing which bay to drive in at busy times. Vacuums and dog wash available as well as vending machine with wash accessories. Card only, they don't accept cash.

  • Sunshine L.W

Loved going to this place before. But last Saturday, went here. Paid $20 just for the machine to give me the $16 service. I think the screen showed me wrong options. I reported to the number posted on the site but no support was given. Really disappointed. Paid $20 for just water.

  • Chinthaka Godagama

Easy and convenient. Though it is not effective as a hand wash, good option when you don’t have time. Whole process would take 15 minutes maximum. There are multiple options and prices are between $15 - 22. I took the full package, but still some spots were not cleaned.

  • Theo Theoklitos

Since using Lightning Shine Car wash, I’ve been really happy with the results, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The drive through system is easy to use, and I love that no brushes are coming in contact with my car, which looks new every time I leave there.

  • Simon Morris

Been here many times now and always get a better than expected clean! Easy to use, great value for money and an overall professional experience. Highly recommend coming here if your car needs a wash and you can’t be bothered doing it by hand yourself!

  • Dee D

Nice and new it even offers free disinfectant to clean the dog tub after you wash your dog, but I always have to disinfect it when I arrive cause unfortunately people are lazy to clean up after themselves. Would be great if it was monitored some how.

  • Abby Perryman

Disgraceful experience. Car came out of laser touch free wash covered in brown streaks and stains. Spent 20 mins scrubbing to no avail. Management refused to acknowledge fault. Also charged for a second vaccuum never used. Horrendous experience.

  • SALIBAMAN

Would have to be one of the biggest rip off car washes around, not only does it do a well below average job, $22 for the top tier wash and supposedly ceramic coating.. the chemicals that they use are that harsh it makes galvanised items

  • Dave B

What an amazing team! Great customer service. Had a small hiccup but they were onto it like the name says “Lightning” fast. Thank you so very much and you have my ongoing support.. Highly recommend the big wash… Car comes out shmick

  • Ross clark

The vacuums have the suction of a feather duster. Would not bother at all! $6 to attempt to vacuum the car and would have had more luck with a garden blower or domestic vacuum! Will drive to pakenham for a better result.

  • Focused Training

What a great experience. Needed to find an alternative to washing my girl at home and came across this place. So easy and convenient and no bending over or mess in the bathroom at home. Best $10 I've spent in years.

  • Denis G

The usual no touch carwash. Doesn't do a perfect job - none of them do - the only way to get your car spotless is wash it by hand. But if you haven't got the time or the energy, this is a reasonable alternative.

  • Cath Amar

Used to be really good, but recently the wash is not washing properly. Both the bottom part of the car and the back side are not cleaned properly. Disappointed as this car wash was really good before!

  • Pramod Narendranath (pramodmkn)

Happy to see the upgraded machines. Rates are affordable. Noticed 2 issues, vacuum suction was less. It would be good to have more power. Air dry option was not included in $18 package body wash.

  • Traveller

Paid $18 and did not do a good job at all. I had to hand wash my car again! Nice set up though. The place would be much better if they had a hand car wash facilities instead of the fancy washers.

  • Matt P

For a newish car wash you would expect much better! Vacuums aren't very powerful & 2 wouldn't accept payment. I've given the auto wash a go 2 weeks in a row on my partners car (small SUV) on

  • Aleasha

Noticed wax was left on my car after a wash, gave the business a call and they resolved the issue very quickly. They have now fixed the wax issue and all is well. Thanks guys! …

  • Satpal Singh

Please don't waste your money here , vacuums are useless with 0 power and automatic car wash is just waste of money didn't even cleaned my car. I want my money back . Useless place.

  • Silverhawk187 #1

Well priced for a decent clean, no brushes or damage to pain due to it only using water, would be nice to purchase a double wash for those times your car needs an extra clean.

  • Alex MacDonald

Great wash, car comes out looking new again. James is an absolute legend, highly recommended getting in touch if you have any queries regarding the best way to use the wash.

  • Aimee Voet

Today we used the dog wash and my dog who normally tries to jump out loved it! Nice warm water, easy to use, great value for money, clean and user friendly! Thank you

  • Steve sutcliffe

First time I've used here.$18 for a wash & have had to come home & redo. Back of car filthy, blower didn't dry the car, worst wash i have ever paid for! Never again!

  • Varun Kohli

Extremely pleased with the quality of the wash. The drying was effective too, though need to wipe off the extra water manually. Recommended and would visit again.

  • Alan Marie

Excellent some time have to wait because it's busy but I guess everyone knows it's a good place to wash their cars. All offers pet wash a plus for pet owners.

  • nicholasprior

Won't go to any other dog wash, this one is the best by far. More time, hot water free disinfectant at end. And it doesn't do automatic top ups when using CC

  • Danny

pathetic. complete waste of money. actual “wash” goes for less than a minute. really expensive does not clean the car! car wash for dumb people.

  • Yamur Sadiqi

Went to vacuum my car here and the vacuum was so slow and weak the owner had to give me refund twice. You can't use coins either. Don't go here

  • Tom Houston

Does a good job given its brush less... little expensive though... you can't get air dry unless you buy the most expensive wash...

  • J C

Your wash cycle needs to slow down, just a quick splash doesn't work for every car including when you pay $18 I'll never return

  • Shane Fielding
